An output control method and apparatus for receiving data from an external apparatus such as a floppy disc and generating are disclosed. ID data that is peculiar to a printer is non-volatilely stored in advance into a writable/readable non-volatile secondary memory device such as a hard disc or the like. An ID number sent from an external apparatus such as a host computer is compared with the stored ID number. When the ID numbers don't coincide, data reception from the external apparatus is inhibited. When they coincide, the data from the external apparatus is received and stored into the secondary memory device. The data from the external apparatus is printed with reference to the data stored in the secondary memory device.
